German officiate take issue with the allied commanders in this respect. The same inconsistency appears in reports of fighting along the Yser, although the Germans admit retirement. The French assert that they inflicted heavy lossen on the invader.

The Germans in conjunction with the Austria ns continue their big efforts in the east. Along the San in Galicia the Russians are attempting to make a stand after their retirement from Western Galicia and the Carpathians. North of ,this war zone, in southern Poland, the Russians are vigorously delivering counter-attacks against the Austro-Gcrmans. They are pursuing also the offensive in Bukowino in an effort to d-lve the Germanic allies from this province. At the other end of the long line in the east, up ln the Baltic provinces and along the East Prussian frontier, heavy fighting is also in progress. In both these sectors each belligerent is again claiming the advantage. Kitchener's Appeal In making an appeal for more recruits while outlining the operations of the house of lords.

Note Held Up Awaiting Developments in Jtalian Situation, When More Supplies -May Be Cut Off NOTE TO A M.IKS IS EXPECTED Intimated in Cerman Quarters Submarine Warfare A V ill Be Discontinued if Allies Permit Foot I to Shipped De associated pkkss DISPATCH 1 WASHINGTON. May 19. Two important factors became known tonight, working to delay for another week Germany's reply to the American note. The first is that in the next lew days it is expected to be decided whether Germany will be confronted with a new military situation by the entrance of Italy into the war, cutting off all supplies' through the Mediterranean. The f-eeond is that interested diplomatists believe the interim of delay will rc-veal whether the United States of its own initiative will send a general protest to tlte allies with respect to the alleged violations of international law by interfering with commerce between America and the neutral countries of Europe. Although without definite information, there is a disposition in well informed quarters here to believe the president, who returns to Washington Thursday will withhold any contemplated representatibns to England until Germany's reply is received, because of a desire to obtain a frank understanding with the latter country on the points raised in the American note without complicating the situation as between the 1'nited States and the allies. It is known that for several weeks there have been under preparation two notes eventually to be sent to Great Britain, one deaonw with the general subject of contraband as a consequence of the correspondence begun December 2G with the first American protest, the other embracing general representations on the detention of vessels plying between neutinl ports carryingnon-contraband American goods. Secretary Bryan said from 20 to 30 ships have been detained by the allies, most of them carrying cotton. He explained the state department was not yet in possession of all the facts, but was investigating. The British officials here indicated that most of the detentions and delays in their opinion was due to carelessness by American shippers in failing to give their selling prices and other information in the invoices.1 In diplomatic quarters friendly to Germany it is confidently believed the German reply to he I'nited States will be conciliatory and make (Continued on Page Eight) o Darroiv Hopes to SeeMcMamara Get Freedom at Once I ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH 1 WASHINGTON, May 13. Clarence Darrow, who defended the McNa-innra brothers in their dynamite case, before the industrial commission today expressed the hope that J. B. McNamara, who is serving a life term, will be pardoned "and it ought to como soon. He said. "McNamara thought he was doing something for the common good, he risked his life because he believed in the cause and from his own viewpoint, he was a martyr."Darrow said: "There is no such thing as the open shop which is based on the so-called inalienable right to work. Man has no such right: he has the right to work only if he can get. a job: open shops mean the open back door for union men going out. "The rich have no trouble obeying the laws because they make and can change them. Sometimes it is necessary for the poor to break the laws. Obedience to the law I do not look upon as one of the cardinal virtues. The day is soon coming when hospitals will be substituted for prisons."James A.

The ' presentation of evidence in Wm. Barnes' suit for libel against Theodore Roosevelt was completed this afternoon after both principals had offered additional testimony. Counsel will sum up tomorrow. Refore Thursday afternoon the case will bo iif the hands of the jury. Tlie colonel told what he represented to be the true details of an interview he had about a year ago with John Hutchinson, Jr., the New York lawyer, who swore last week the former president told him "the republican party is not big enough to hold Humes and myself." In regard to that question the colonel almost shouted that it was false. lie said he did tell Hutchinson he was wiiling during the last gubernatorial election in this state to support the republican candidate who would wage war on republican and democratic "crookedness," but that he could not be expected to come back to the republican party as long as it "was dominated by men of the stamp of Uarnes." The colonel flatly contradicted Barnes' testimony about their talk at the White House over the Agnew-Hart racing bill, and many other things. He reiterated with added emphasis his statement that Mr. Barnes told him that men identified with big business interests contributed large sums of money to both parties. The colonel was most active on the stand. Several, times while testifying the spectators in the crowded court room had to be brought to order by Justice Andrews. Mr. Barnes under cross examination freely admitted he had been presented w ith fifty, shares of the stocks' in the J. B. Lyon Company of Albany. He said he took the stock because he wanted to lie a business partner of J. B. Lyon, the founder of the printing concern, so he might properly be associated with public printing. He said the stock was valueless at the time he received it. Testimony was given during the early days of the trial to the effect Mr. Barnes sold back his stock In the Lyon company after holding it a number of years, for a considerable sum. Under redirect examination, Mr. Barnes swore he always had the best interests of the republican party at heart and he. had never done anything he considered might be to the interests of the democratic organization..Among other witnesses who testified were Simon Ouggenhelm, former United States senator from Colorado; Wm. Loeb, private secretary of Roosevelt when he was president and later collector of the ' port of New York. Mr. Loeb reiterated emphatically it was in 1911 when he met Mr. Barnes in the office of the J. S. Bache and company. In previous testimony he said that as he, Barnes, left the office where they attended a luncheon, he mentioned a deadlock in the legislature and epioted Mr. Barnes as saying "he could do nothing" at that time to end it. -o- CALIFORNIA APPROPRIATIONS associated f-iifss dispatch!

Note Held Up Awaiting Developments in Jtalian Situation, When More Supplies -May Be Cut Off NOTE TO A M.IKS IS EXPECTED Intimated in Cerman Quarters Submarine Warfare A V ill Be Discontinued if Allies Permit Foot I to Shipped De associated pkkss DISPATCH 1 WASHINGTON. May 19. Two important factors became known tonight, working to delay for another week Germany's reply to the American note. The first is that in the next lew days it is expected to be decided whether Germany will be confronted with a new military situation by the entrance of Italy into the war, cutting off all supplies' through the Mediterranean. The f-eeond is that interested diplomatists believe the interim of delay will rc-veal whether the United States of its own initiative will send a general protest to tlte allies with respect to the alleged violations of international law by interfering with commerce between America and the neutral countries of Europe. Although without definite information, there is a disposition in well informed quarters here to believe the president, who returns to Washington Thursday will withhold any contemplated representatibns to England until Germany's reply is received, because of a desire to obtain a frank understanding with the latter country on the points raised in the American note without complicating the situation as between the 1'nited States and the allies. It is known that for several weeks there have been under preparation two notes eventually to be sent to Great Britain, one deaonw with the general subject of contraband as a consequence of the correspondence begun December 2G with the first American protest, the other embracing general representations on the detention of vessels plying between neutinl ports carryingnon-contraband American goods. Secretary Bryan said from 20 to 30 ships have been detained by the allies, most of them carrying cotton. He explained the state department was not yet in possession of all the facts, but was investigating. The British officials here indicated that most of the detentions and delays in their opinion was due to carelessness by American shippers in failing to give their selling prices and other information in the invoices.1 In diplomatic quarters friendly to Germany it is confidently believed the German reply to he I'nited States will be conciliatory and make (Continued on Page Eight) o Darroiv Hopes to SeeMcMamara Get Freedom at Once I ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH 1 WASHINGTON, May 13. Clarence Darrow, who defended the McNa-innra brothers in their dynamite case, before the industrial commission today expressed the hope that J. B. McNamara, who is serving a life term, will be pardoned "and it ought to como soon. He said. "McNamara thought he was doing something for the common good, he risked his life because he believed in the cause and from his own viewpoint, he was a martyr."Darrow said: "There is no such thing as the open shop which is based on the so-called inalienable right to work. Man has no such right: he has the right to work only if he can get. a job: open shops mean the open back door for union men going out. "The rich have no trouble obeying the laws because they make and can change them. Sometimes it is necessary for the poor to break the laws. Obedience to the law I do not look upon as one of the cardinal virtues. The day is soon coming when hospitals will be substituted for prisons."James A. Emerv of the National Association of Manufacturers, followed and remarked that McNamara had received fees for his dynamiting jobs and supposed that "even a martyr had his perquisities." disturbance so they can return to their properties.

NOT BIO ENOUGH FOR TWO Is Statement That- Arouses His Ire Barnes Admits Share in Printing Concern, But Calls It Mere Business Deal associated press dispatch! SYRACUSE, May IS. The ' presentation of evidence in Wm. Barnes' suit for libel against Theodore Roosevelt was completed this afternoon after both principals had offered additional testimony. Counsel will sum up tomorrow. Refore Thursday afternoon the case will bo iif the hands of the jury. Tlie colonel told what he represented to be the true details of an interview he had about a year ago with John Hutchinson, Jr., the New York lawyer, who swore last week the former president told him "the republican party is not big enough to hold Humes and myself." In regard to that question the colonel almost shouted that it was false. lie said he did tell Hutchinson he was wiiling during the last gubernatorial election in this state to support the republican candidate who would wage war on republican and democratic "crookedness," but that he could not be expected to come back to the republican party as long as it "was dominated by men of the stamp of Uarnes." The colonel flatly contradicted Barnes' testimony about their talk at the White House over the Agnew-Hart racing bill, and many other things. He reiterated with added emphasis his statement that Mr. Barnes told him that men identified with big business interests contributed large sums of money to both parties. The colonel was most active on the stand. Several, times while testifying the spectators in the crowded court room had to be brought to order by Justice Andrews. Mr. Barnes under cross examination freely admitted he had been presented w ith fifty, shares of the stocks' in the J. B. Lyon Company of Albany. He said he took the stock because he wanted to lie a business partner of J. B. Lyon, the founder of the printing concern, so he might properly be associated with public printing. He said the stock was valueless at the time he received it. Testimony was given during the early days of the trial to the effect Mr. Barnes sold back his stock In the Lyon company after holding it a number of years, for a considerable sum. Under redirect examination, Mr. Barnes swore he always had the best interests of the republican party at heart and he. had never done anything he considered might be to the interests of the democratic organization..Among other witnesses who testified were Simon Ouggenhelm, former United States senator from Colorado; Wm. Loeb, private secretary of Roosevelt when he was president and later collector of the ' port of New York. Mr. Loeb reiterated emphatically it was in 1911 when he met Mr. Barnes in the office of the J. S. Bache and company. In previous testimony he said that as he, Barnes, left the office where they attended a luncheon, he mentioned a deadlock in the legislature and epioted Mr. Barnes as saying "he could do nothing" at that time to end it. -o- CALIFORNIA APPROPRIATIONS associated f-iifss dispatch!
